The only year we ever had a chosen team leader ... well, let's just say we didn't have a good year.
Every year, there is one student on the team who steps up and assumes the role of "team leader". But this person is never, ever chosen or elected -- they just do it. The same thing goes with our team's sub-team leaders.
This year, we filled out sheets if we wanted to lead a sub-team. Then the student's voted on who, of the people who wanted to lead, they thought would be the best. We technically had elected leaders that way ... but people pretty much followed our traditional team way of just stepping up and assuming responsibility. Through trial and error, we've found that that just works best for our team.
